Flipgrid Presentations and Resources!

NOTE: The questions for The Collector are in the post BELOW this one.

Everyone should have received an e-mail inviting you to sign onto our class' Flipgrid site, "British Literature: Monsters and Madmen." If not, you can find the site here: https://flipgrid.com/4ae4c72a. To join, enter this code: 4ae4c72a. 

Once you're in, there is only one topic: Final Presentations. Click on this and you'll see the instructions. I've already posted a sample video, showing my own presentation, which you can watch to give you a sense of how you might do this (it's 8 minutes long). Remember that YOU ONLY HAVE TEN MINUTES. If you go over, you'll have to re-record it and make it shorter! Ten minutes should be ample time to discuss all six slides, but you do have to keep it brief. You might give it a trial run and time yourself just to make sure.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECORDING:

1. Click on "Add Response" when you're ready to record your video response. Make sure you already have a Powerpoint (or other presentation) open on your desktop.

2. You'll now see the camera come on. Click on "Options" in the lower right-hand corner. 

3. Click "Record Screen," then "Start Screen Recording." But don't worry, it won't start yet. When the options come up, choose "Entire Screen."

4. Click "Share" when you're ready to start recording. It will give you a 3-2-1 countdown. Start talking immediately afterwards, or you'll have dead air. But you'll have to open the Powerpoint as you're talking and start sharing it manually. 

I show you most of this on the video, so be sure to watch the video if you have any questions. 

ART RESOURCES (a few places to click on if you don't know where to go to find paintings):

Start with Wikiart, a wikipedia of art images, and a great place to find paintings by your favorite artists. Here's the link: https://www.wikiart.org/. Some painters you might look for that we've examined in class are: Turner, Goya, Bronzino, Magritte, Burne-Jones, Whistler, and Munch.

Or, you can search 19th and 20th century painters at Wikiart, too: https://www.wikiart.org/en/artists-by-century/19#!#resultType:masonry 

and https://www.wikiart.org/en/artists-by-century/20#!#resultType:masonry

When you click on an artist's page, you'll not only get a number of their paintings, but also subcategories that they appear in (which could lead to similar paintings and artists), but also related painters from the same period/country. Check out Goya's page to see what I mean: https://www.wikiart.org/en/francisco-goya
